Abstract

This article brings some reflections on the difficulties presented by deaf students in the
acquisition of chemical concepts. It is understood that the difficulties of these students are the
same as those of hearing students, due to the low workload of the discipline, the high abstraction
of concepts, and the absence of laboratories. However, some characteristics of deaf students,
added to the previous difficulties, make their learning even more difficult. Among these factors
are: the lack of scientific training of the Sign Language Interpreter, the absence of signs for certain scientific concepts, and the Portuguese language used by the teacher, different from the
language of the deaf student.
